 +===== 3.6.7 =====
 +=== 2004-08-09 ===
 +  * This security fix release is initially available in English version only. Other languages can be downloaded from [[&download|downloads page]] once finished.
 +  * SSH core upgraded to [[&url(puttychanges)|PuTTY 0.55]]. It brings following changes:
 +    * Security fix: the vulnerability found by the Core Security Technologies is now fixed. See advisory numbered [[&url(core20040705)|CORE-2004-0705]]
 +    * General robustness of the SSH1 implementation has been improved.
 +    * Bug fix: Random noise generation was hanging some computers and interfering with other processes' precision timing.
 +    * Several other bug fixes.
 +  * Multiple files can be edited and/or opened at the same time. Modified files are uploaded back using background transfer queue. To revert to previous behaviour, see Editor settings.
 +  * With SFTP protocol, it is possible to open separate shell session to execute user-defined commands. The server must provide Unix-like shell and the shell must use same path syntax as SFTP session for this to work. This enables Open Terminal, Custom commands and command-line features in SFTP sessions (the shell session is opened automatically when they are used).
 +  * Experimental support for version 5 of SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol). Currently it brings only better error reporting. In future the upgrade may allow file verification using MD5 algorithm. Note that as I do not know any server supporting SFTP5, the funtionality was not tested at all.
 +  * When obsolete translation file is found in WinSCP startup directory, warning is shown, as it may cause program not to work properly.
 +  * Command "Open directory/bookmark" added to panel context menu (Norton-Commander interface only).
 +  * Some SFTP error messages were clarified.
 +  * Temporary directory options moved from "Drag&drop" tab of Preferences dialog to Storage tab as the settings are actually used by other features as well.
 +  * Bug fix: "Save" toolbar button was sometime disabled, when it should not and vice versa.
 +  * Several other bug fixes.
 +
 +===== 3.6.6 =====
 +=== 2004-07-15 ===
 +  * Symbolic links on remote tree has "arrow" icon overlay.
 +  * Only session properties whose values are different from factory defaults are stored. It dramatically decreases space occupied by stored sessions in windows registry and/or INI file.
 +  * Remote directory whose parent directory was never visited can be dragged from remote tree now.
 +  * Warning about possible lack of space in temporary directory when using temporary directory download mode now shows total transfer size even if dragging directories.
 +  * When uploading new directory with SFTP, WinSCP does not look for partial upload files, which may slightly decrease upload time.
 +  * It is not possible anymore to duplicate file from local panel using drag&drop.
 +  * Bug fix: Keepalive interval could be set to 60 seconds only instead of intended 60 minutes.
 +  * Bug fix: Keepalive interval was not imported correctly from Putty sessions.
 +  * Bug fix: When using INI file as configuration storage, persistent directory changes cache was not loaded correctly.
 +  * Bug fix: Pressing X button on message boxes had unpredictable results. Now it has the same effect as pressing Esc key.
 +  * Bug fix: Change to file size due to text mode transfer was not reflected on transfer progress indicator.
 +  * Bug fix: Parent directory of directory dragged from remote tree was needlessly reloaded.
 +  * Bug fix: Several drag&drop fixes.
 +
 +===== 3.6.5 beta =====
 +=== 2004-07-02 ===
 +
 +  * This beta is released in English version only.
 +  * Directory tree display. Available both for remote and local (Norton-Commander interface only) panels. The tree may be used as both source and target of drag&drop operations.
 +  * Function "Keep remote directory up to date" was completely remade:
 +    * Subdirectories are now optionally synchronised (maximal number of subdirectories being watched is 62).
 +    * Arbitrary two directories can be synchronized.
 +    * Obsolete files may be deleted (optionally).
 +    * Function is newly available in Explorer-like interface too.
 +  * Files matching given mask may be excluded from file transfer and synchronization.
 +  * Option "New and update file(s) only" to transfer files that either does not exist in the target directory or whose timestamp is greater than target file timestamp. Similar functionality has new button "Newer only" on overwrite confirmation dialog.
 +  * Local change drive down menu contains links to folders "My documents" and "Desktop" (Norton-Commander interface only)
 +  * Files copied to clipboard may be pasted both to remote and local (Norton-Commander interface only) panels. Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl-V
 +  * When handling scp:%%//%% or sftp:%%//%% URL, which includes path without trailing slash, the file or directory it points to is downloaded. When path ends with slash, the directory it points to is opened (previous behaviour).
 +  * New option "existing only" for Synchronization.
 +  * Transfer resume confirmation may be turned off.
 +  * With SFTP, file permissions are explicitly set on the newly created directories, as at least OpenSSH ignores default permissions for new directories.
 +  * Program may "beep" when file operation lasting more than specified time is finished (see Environment tab of Preferences window).
 +  * Bug fix: After successful login, an error like "Directory 'D:' doesn't exist.", was displayed when first existing non-floppy drive was not valid. Typical configuration was no C: drive and empty D: CR-ROM drive.
 +  * Bug fix: Using "Home directory" function on remote panel corrupted "change directory cache".
 +  * Maximal length of file masks was extended on all windows.
 +  * Ctrl-C on message window copies to clipboard the additional message (display-able via "More" button) as well.
 +  * Toolbar button "Open directory/bookmark" moved from "Standard" toolbar behind directory drop down menu on "Address" bar (Explorer-like interface).
 +  * Double click on path label above file panel opens "Open directory/bookmark" window (Norton-Commander interface only).
 +  * Tab "Drag&drop" of Preferences window moved from "Environment" to "Transfer" group.
 +  * Error "EAccessViolation" is now replaced with more meaningful "Invalid access to memory" to better distinguish it from "Permissions denied".
 +  * Bug fix: Button "No to all" on overwrite confirmation dialog made error message appear for every skipped file with SCP protocol.
 +  * Bug fix: Processed files were not deselected, when downloading using drag&drop and, when uploading using drag&drop from local to remote panel of Norton-Commander interface.
 +  * Bug fix: Message "Operation was successfully completed. Connection was closed...." was displayed as "Error" instead of "Information", when uploading files from "Sent to" menu of Windows Explorer.
 +  * Bug fix: The local directory was uselessly reloaded sometime, when calculation of total transfer size before download was completed (Norton-Commander interface only).
 +  * Bug fix: With path "a/bbb/ccc", the one-letter-long folder "a" would not be displayed in change directory drop down menu.
 +  * Bug fix: Text mode masks history was not working on Preferences dialog.
 +  * Bug fix: With initial configuration, session settings on "Bugs" tab of login dialog was not loaded properly.
